Dining at Lady Ramble's the other day, it was proposed,
after dinner, by her Ladyship's sister, to hear Miss, who is
a fine girl of about 11 years of age, concerning some points
she had been instructed in relative to her duty in life;
which being agreed to, her Ladyship desired Miss to stand
up, and then asked the questions; and received the answers
following; and as they may be of service to other young
Ladies of Quality, I have transmitted them to you, [signed]
Socratissa.
